inspire the people around them to cultivate positive nutrition

the meeting was declared a success by stephen Conchie, senior
vice president and managing director, herbalife nutrition asia
pacific, who said that following training at the extravaganza, “our
members are better equipped with solid knowledge to provide
their customers with effective personalised solutions to their
nutrition and wellness goals, and make a real difference in helping
people live healthier, more fulfilling lives”.
“global megatrends, such as high obesity rates, rapidly ageing
populations and rising public healthcare costs have a significant
impact upon the region,” he said.
“With ageing populations being more prevalent in north asian
markets, such as hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Korea and taiwan,
there is a crucial need for us to help address this issue through our
nutrition products and trained members.” l
